Temperatures were in the 60s Monday and people were taking advantage of the sunshine. People were running, golfing and playing on the jungle gyms all over the Tri-State, but they shouldn't get comfortable with these temps. The mercury is supposed to drop by the middle of the week and bring rain and snow into the area.

WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A DAY LIKE THIS... ALL WINTER! WL-WT'S JENNIFER SCHACK IS LEADING THE WAY... WITH HOW THE TRI- STATE IS ENJOYING THESE TEMPERATURES. RACHEL MUNGAN IS 4 MONTHS INTO HER TRAINING FOR THE FLYING PIG HALF MARATHON - BUT IT'S BEEN TOUGH TO HIT THE PAVEMENT BECAUSE OF THE HARSH WINTER WEATHER, (Rachel Mungan Training Flying Pig "hopefully it will improve from today and give me more of a chance to get outside and actually do some real training.") AND WITH HIGHS TODAY IN THE LOW 60S, RUNNERS AND BIKERS HAD A GREAT CHANCE TO BE OUT ALONG THE LUNKEN BIKE PATH, ALTHOUGH IT WAS QUITE BREEZY - BUT IT WAS A BREEZE GOLFER'S DIDN'T SEEM TO MIND EITHER (Tyler Kuhnash UC Student "it's just starting to warm up so I think everyone's got the spring bug and is itching to get out and play") DOZENS OF GOLFERS WERE GETTING AN EARLY START ON THE SEASON - TRYING TO STAY ON THE FAIRWAYS AND OUT OF THE SAND. WE FOUND A DIFFERENT STORY AT JUILF'S PARK IN ANDERSON, WHERE THE SAND WAS THE PLACE TO PLAY... (Scott Lewis Anderson Township "did you guys decide to come out because of the weather? Yeah, it's a great day. Give us a day in the 60s after all this snow and ice and everything, time to get out and get dirty) ALTHOUGH NO BEACH IN SIGHT AND A LONG WAY FROM SUMMER..THAT DIDN'T STOP KIDS FROM TAKING OFF THEIR SHOES AND HAVING FUN! (jennifer Schack "and no complaints from me when I got this story from my manager - an excuse to get outside and enjoy the sunshine myself. On the East Side, Jennifer Schack, WLWT News 5.")
